Suppose the graph of a cubic polynomial function has the same zeroes and passes through the coordinate (0, -5). Write the equati

amid [387]

In this we know all three zeros and one point from which the graph pass.
So we will let specific cubic polynomial function of the form
$f(x) = a(x - x_1)(x-x_2)(x-x_3)$

As we know zeros are that point where we will get value of function equal to zero. So it is basically in form $(x_n , 0)$

SO in given question zeros are (2 , 0) , (3, 0) and (5,0)
So we can say $x_1 = 2 , x_2 = 3 , x_3 = 5$

So required equation is
$f(x) = a (x-2)(x-3)(x-5)$
              $= a[(x^2 - 2x - 3x + 6)(x-5)]$
              $= a[(x^2 - 5x+6)(x-5)]$
              $= a(x^3 - 5x^2 + 6x- 5x^2 + 25x - 30)$
              $= a(x^3 - 10x^2+31x-30)$
Now we have one point (0 , -5) from which graph passes.
So we say at x = 0 , f(x) = -5
$-5= a (0-0+0 - 30)$
$-5 = -30a$
$a = \frac{-5}{-30} = \frac{1}{6}$
So required equation of cubic polynomial is
$f(x) = \frac{1}{6}(x^3 -10x^2+31x-30)$

For finding y - intercept we simply plugin x = 0 in given equation.
As we know at x = 0 , value of function is -5.
So y - intercept is -5.

Mei Su had 80 coins. She gave most of them to her friends in such a way that each of her friends got at least one coin and no tw

Mama L [17]

Answer: 12 friends.

Step-by-step explanation:

the data we have is:

Mei Su had 80 coins.

She gave the coins to her friends, in such a way that every friend got a different number of coins, then we have that:

The maximum number of friends that could have coins is when:

friend 1 got 1 coin

friend 2 got 2 coins

friend 3 got 3 coins

friend N got N coins

in such a way that:

(1 + 2 + 3 + ... + N) ≥ 79

I use 79 because "she gave most of the coins", not all.

We want to find the maximum possible N.

Then let's calculate:

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15

15 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = 55

now we are close, lets add by one number:

55 + 11 = 66

66 + 12 = 78

now, we can not add more because we will have a number larger than 80.

Then we have N = 12

This means that the maximum number of friends is 12.

A line has a slope of 9. One of the points on the line is (-2, p). Another point on the line is (2, 2p+1). Determine the value o

igomit [66]

As we travel from (-2, p) to (2, 2p+1), x increases by 4 and y increases by p+1. Note that -2 + 4 = 2 (which is correct), and that p + (p+1) = 2p+1 (which is also correct).

p+1

Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = -------- = 9

4

Then p + 1 = 36, and p = 35.
